HEALTH CLAIM
Thallon is a high quality early-harvest olive oil, rich in health-protection substances and nutrients - an excellent example of Hippocratic medicine.
Due to its high content of polyphenols, it has the HEALTH CLAIM designation, according to European Regulation 432/2012 of EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
THALLON has an exceptionally high content of two of the most important phenols, Oleocanthal & Oleacein, which have important biological activity and to which anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties have been attributed.
TASTE - ACIDITY
The early-harvest olive oil THALLON combines all the taste properties of the variety Hondrolia Halkidikis, namely a rich fruity flavor with aromatic notes of grass, greens, pepper, tomato and balances bitter with spicy (FRUIT 5.0Mf, SPICY 4.5Mb and BITTER 4.5Mp). It is recommended to be consumed raw in the morning or as an accompaniment to salads, boiled or roasted vegetables and grilled meat.
THALLON has a particularly low acidity below 0.3 (<0.3) and thus is classified in the premium extra virgin olive oil category.
HARVESTING – OLIVE OIL PRODUCTION
The production of Thallon starts with the cultivation of our olive groves, which is based on organic standards. Harvesting begins in mid-September, when the olives are still unripe (green). They are collected by hand in perforated crates and then, within 24 hours, they are transported to a cold-press ecological oil mill for olive oil production.
HISTORY
Dimitris and Andreas Tsikouris were born and raised in Ormylia, Halkidiki, an area where olive cultivation has been a tradition since ancient times.
Love and respect for the blessed olive tree have been ingrained in them since they were young children.
They experienced firsthand the olive cultivation, olive harvesting, olive oil production and learned to appreciate the valuable for our health olive oil.
Childhood memories were transformed over time into experience, which, combined with their vision to produce their own olive oil, created THALLON, a natural phenol-rich product with particularly low acidity, derived from unripe olives, by cold extraction and with the most modern and certified mechanical methods for olive oil production.
